Drawn back to the coast after years living inland, I found myself in Norfolk ten years ago. It’s a haven for wildlife and nature, the perfect location for my first homeware store.  I was so fortunate to find a little unused building on a working farm here at Drove Orchards. Right on the coast road, the building had been used for packing mushrooms in the 50’s and offered a light, rustic home for me to develop my business.  Dealing solely in rustic, vintage homewares I grew the business and soon ran out of room in my beautiful but ramshackle shed. 

 

With the move to a new build, much larger premises on the same site I had developed a much more defined look. Undertaking several interior styling projects, I was drawn to a far more neutral pallet emphasising texture rather than colour. 

 

Joyful Living has been trading from the new barn now for almost eight years, and I’ve been here trading for thirteen amazing years. My interior style continues to evolve and change. My signature style will always be a neutral colour palette which you will see at the store along with great merchandising, pops of colour, surprising brands and always great scents. My team work really hard to ensure our customers have a great experience when shopping with us and are always on hand to advise and help.
